M. Spoon - Disguise

1997 I arrived, into a scary world but I couldn't open my eyes
Not knowing I would cry at times victim of many lies
Sometimes the closest ties can be found wearing a disguise
But no I am not blind
I see that now it's been some seasons now I think about how could you do this to me thought you were my guy, whatever
I'm better now it's been a minute now and if I'm feelin' down I'll hit the bottle and roll up The loud
I said, "Ciao" to everyone in town 'cuz you'll never see me
Middle finger to my haters wishin' they could be me
I used to care about appearance how people would see me
Now I wake up and my view is foreign human beings, fuck with me
I went from broke to livin' comfortably
No more eviction notice groceries from Dollar Tree
My family tree has been broken, I'm tryin' to pick up the sticks
Have my pops wrist frozen have momma shop on Saxs Fifth
Even gave my cousin money when he was in a pinch
Only to find out he was movin' on schemin' shit
I learned my lessons studied up to pass all my tests
You can only trust yourself and that's as real as it gets

1997 I arrived, into a scary world but I couldn't open my eyes
Not knowing I would cry at times victim of many lies
Sometimes the closest ties can be found wearing a disguise
1997 I arrived, into a scary world but I couldn't open my eyes
Not knowing I would cry at times victim of many lies
Sometimes the closest ties can be found wearing a disguise

I don't know why they want beef with me, why they hate on me leisurely, why they throwin' away history, guess it really ain't meant to be
Meant to fill up my cup, crack a dutch and roll up blunts, a squirrel just wanna get nut Lately I'm wild as fuck
They said I'd never be much, now I got revenue up
I move mountains for my kin they still judge me on my skin just want my family to win
Man I just wanna be great, I'm steady puttin' out tapes
Hopin' the right person hear me I know I'm goin' off theory I know the future is weary I know I want them to cheer me I know they still probably fear me
I know I see through the sky
I know I see through disguise
I know it took me some time
I know I'm bout' to get right
I know in

1997 I arrived, into a scary world but I couldn't open my eyes
Not knowing I would cry at times victim of many lies
Sometimes the closest ties can be found wearing a disguise
1997 I arrived, into a scary world but I couldn't open my eyes
Not knowing I would cry at times victim of many lies
Sometimes the closest ties can be found wearing a disguise
